In the Home Stretch

I had my Dr. appt. today. I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow. I am dilated to 1cm, thinned out, head low. Yikes! Not that being dilated to 1cm is a huge thing but it's more than I was dilated to a week ago. He (Dr. Dickey) also told me to stop the Brethine because if I went into labor now they wouldn't stop it anyway. I'm still having daily contractions and my pelvis feels like it's snapping in two. Lovely picture. I've got a good waddle going now due to the pelvic pain so I'm loading up on my extra strength Tylenol. I'm sure it will do no good. I didn't sleep well at all last night. I was up every two hours to pee and could hardly walk to the bathroom due to the back pain and pelvic pain. It gets worse when I lay in the same position for too long. I guess I've officially reached the sucky part of being pregnant. I now go for weekly visits to the OB. We'll see how many I make it to.....come on Caleb! (ok, maybe he should stay in for at least another week)
